HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, EVERYONE! Love is in the air and Valentine's Day is upon us. A time to reflect on those dear to our hearts and celebrate the love we feel towards our special someones. Love knows no reason, no boundaries, no distance; and True Love brings people together to a time called forever! Love is that emotional feeling guarded deep within the depths of our soul that holds precious memories of special moments frozen in time with that loved one and no one can ever steal it away! .
Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a NIV, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails......"
As you begin to celebrate this special day of love, I pray you will first remember to honor our Heavenly Father who graciously gave His Love beyond measure. As Jesus taught in John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this; than to lay down his life for His friends." God's love was displayed in the highest degree when Jesus willingly gave His life for you and me and all who would believe and receive His great gift of Salvation! There are no words to describe it and no way we can ever fathom His unconditional Love!
But this beloved song comes as close as possible as it declares, "The Love of God is greater far, than tongue or pen could ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star and reaches to the lowest hell. The guilty pair bowed down with care, God sent His son to win; His erring child, He reconciled and pardoned from their sin. Oh Love of God how rich and pure, how measureless and strong, It shall forevermore endure, the saints and angels song."
On this Valentine's Day set aside to honor those we love so dearly, I pray you take time to cherish each moment and enjoy the blessing of having your beloved sweetheart close beside you; and if they are no longer here, I pray those loving moments you shared will warm your heart and bring a smile and precious memories as you think of them today. Enjoy a wonderfully blessed day because God loves you and so do I~~~'
